Samsung SCX-4600 manual Envelope, Transparency, Labels, Pressure lever, Acceptable Unacceptable

Envelope

Successful printing on envelopes depends upon the quality of the envelopes.

To print an envelope, the stamp area is on the left side and the end of the envelope with the stamp area enters the printer first and center of the manual tray.

If envelopes are printed out with wrinkles, crease or black bold lines, open the rear cover and pull down the pressure lever and try printing again. Keep the rear cover opened during printing.

•When selecting envelopes, consider the following factors:

-Weight: The weight of the envelope paper should not exceed 90 g/m2 otherwise, jam may occur.

-Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes should lie flat with less than 6 mm curl, and should not contain air.

-Condition: Envelopes should not be wrinkled, nicked, nor damaged.

-Temperature: Use envelopes that are compatible with the heat and pressure of the machine during operation.

•Use only well-constructed envelopes with sharp-and well-creased folds.

•Do not use stamped envelopes.

•Do not use envelopes with clasps, snaps, windows, coated lining, self-adhesive seals, or other synthetic materials.

•Do not use damaged or poorly made envelopes.

•Be sure the seam at both ends of the envelope extends all the way to the corner of the envelope.

•Envelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip or with more than one flap that folds over to seal must use adhesives compatible with the machine’s fusing temperature (about 170°C(338 °F) for 0.1 second. The extra flaps

and strips might cause wrinkling, creasing, or jams, and may even damage the fuser.

•For the best print quality, position margins no closer than 15 mm (0.59 inches) from the edges of the envelope.

•Avoid printing over the area where the envelope’s seams meet.

Transparency

To avoid damaging the machine, use only transparencies designed for use in laser printers.

•Transparencies used in the machine must be able to withstand machine’s fusing temperature.

•Place them on a flat surface after removing them from the machine.

•Do not leave unused transparencies in the paper tray for long periods of time. Dust and dirt may accumulate on them, resulting in spotty printing.

•To avoid smudging caused by fingerprints, handle them carefully.

•To avoid fading, do not expose printed transparencies to prolonged sunlight.

•Ensure that transparencies are not wrinkled, curled, or have any torn edges.

•Do not use transparencies that separates from the backing sheet.

•To prevent transparencies from sticking to each other, do not let the printed sheets stack up as they are begin printed out.

Labels

To avoid damaging the machine, use only labels designed for use in laser machines.

•When selecting labels, consider the following factors:

-Adhesives: The adhesive material should be stable at your machine’s fusing temperature about 170°C(338 °F).

-Arrangement: Only use labels with no exposed backing between them. Labels can peel off sheets that have spaces between the labels, causing serious jams.

-Curl: Prior to printing, labels must lie flat with no more than 13 mm of curl in any direction.

-Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles, bubbles, or other indications of separation.

•Make sure that there is no exposed adhesive material between labels. Exposed areas can cause labels to peel off during printing, which can cause paper jams. Exposed adhesive can also cause damage to machine components.
